How come I can't scale my bones?

Post by stephklein »

Is there some unique set of circumstances that have to be in place for the 'scale bone' tool to activate? When i'm creating a skeleton, and i want to resize a bone, the scale bone tool is always greyed-out (not clickable), forcing me to just delete and re-create the bone. What up with that?

I assume you mean in frame 0. You can scale your bones there by grabbing at the tip of the bone with the translate bone tool. Don't know the reason why the scale tool doesn't work in fr.0.

The forum search function can be very useful for... finding answers to questions that were already asked, for example ;)
